Students must provide their own cameras, computers and editing software. All Communications students are required to have a laptop computer with at least entry-level video and audio editing software (for video, iMovie for Mac OS or Pinnacle for Windows; for audio, Audacity for either operating system). Tablet and mobile devices (iPads, smartphones, etc.) will not meet the professional-level expectations of assignments given in the Communications program.
